PWU Connects

For the month of May, the PWU’s Calendar Committee chose Samantha Clark’s artwork titled “Mental Health Matters”🩷

Thank you, Samantha, for bringing attention to the importance of recognizing mental health, and supporting one another in the workplace!🤝

Investing in the skilled trades is investing in Canada's future⚡

The PWU welcomes the federal government's initiative to strengthen skilled trades training and apprenticeship pathways, including enhanced supports for Red Seal certification and employer participation.

The PWU released an opinion editorial today in the Globe and Mail titled, Toronto’s Third Transmission Line is too Important for a Procurement Experiment.

The editorial speaks to how the Toronto Third Transmission line is a major infrastructure project that will play a key role in maintaining reliability and supporting the city’s continued growth and electrification, but should be owned, maintained and operated by Hydro One, who support ongoing system reliability, long-term investment, and stable, highly skilled union jobs across the sector.

The PWU’s position is clear: a project of this scale and importance should strengthen Ontario’s publicly accountable transmission system — not be used as a test case for a new and unproven procurement approach that could introduce added risk, delays, and unnecessary complexity.

Designating Hydro One to develop and operate the line would help ensure it is integrated seamlessly into the existing grid, delivered efficiently, and continues to provide long-term value here in Ontario.
